#16 in our Top 100 Songs of 2015 is "You And I Alone" by Daphne & Celeste.
Are you unfamiliar with Daphne & Celeste? In 2000 they hit the UK charts with throwaway bubblegum pop tunes “U.G.L.Y”, “School's Out” and “Ooh Stick You.” People thought it was funny, annoying or insulting to music.

The result was the one off single “You & I Alone”, an ice cool electro pop song delivered with post punk playful nonchalance. Check out the video ...
Cheers then,
